Pancho and lefty Emmylou Harris
[C]Now you wear your skin like iron
[G]Your breath as hard as [D]kerosene
[C]Weren't your mama's only boy
But her [G]favorite one it [C]seems
She [Em]began to cry when you [C]said [G]goodb[D]ye
And [C]sank into your [Em]dreams
[G]Pancho was a bandit boys [D]his horse was fast as polished steel
[C]He wore his gun outside his pants
For [G]all the honest world to [D]feel
[C]Pancho met his match you know on the [G]deserts down in [C]Mexico
[Em]Nobody heard his [C]dyi[G]ng [D]words ah but [C]that's the way it [Em]goes
[C]All the Federales say [G]they could have had him [C]any day
[Em]They only let him [C]slip [G]awa[D]y out of [C]kindness I sup[Em]pose
[G]Lefty he can't sing the blues [D]all night long like he used to
[C]The dust that Pancho bit down south [G]ended up in [D]Lefty's mouth
[C]The day they laid poor Pancho low [G]Lefty split for [C]Ohio
[Em]Where he got the [C]bread [G]to [D]go there [C]ain't nobody [Em]know[D]s
[C]All the Federales say [G]could have had him [C]any day
[Em]They only let him [C]slip [G]awa[D]y out of [C]kindness I [Em]suppos[D]e
SOLO
[G]Poets tell how Pancho fell and [D]Lefty's living in a cheap hotel
[C]The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold,
[G]And so the story [D]ends we're told
[C]Pancho needs your prayers it's true but [G]save a few for [C]Lefty too
[Em]He only did what he [C]had [G]to [D]do and [C]now he's growing [Em]old
[C]All the Federales say [G]could have had him [C]any day
[Em]We only let him [C]slip [G]awa[D]y out of [C]kindness I supp[Em]ose[D]
A few gray Federales say [G]could have had him [C]any day
[Em]We only only let him [C]go [G]so [D]long out of of [C]kindness I supp[Em]ose
